Which DNA tests does Adnà offer for relationship, health, wellness or ancestry?
Our DNA tests are done at home with a simple sample, and fall into several categories:
• DNA relationship tests (from $199), which show whether two or more people are biologically related: paternity, maternity, twin zygosity, siblingship, grandparentage and aunt/uncle tests.
• Wellness tests, which show how your genes may influence your lifestyle, preferences, health and well-being: sports and performance, nutrition, skincare, talent and personality.
• Health tests, which identify, among other things, your genetic predispositions to certain diseases or how your body metabolizes certain medications: genetic predispositions test, pharmacogenomics test.
• An ancestry test, which gives insight into your family origins and genetic lineage across different historical periods.
• Microbiome tests, which identify and quantify the bacteria and other microorganisms in your microbiome: oral microbiome, gut microbiome.
• Biomarker tests, which measure specific substances in the blood to assess health status, detect diseases or monitor their progression: Biomarker Hormone+ Panel, Biomarker Metabolic+ Panel, Biomarker Thyroid+ Panel, Biomarker Foundation Panel.
Not sure where to start? The DNA 360 Test combines 7 genetic reports in a single test, for 40% less than buying them separately.
What will my results look like before I buy?
On each test page, the “Download a sample report” button lets you view a sample report before you buy. You’ll get a clear idea of the format and level of detail of the results you’ll receive.
Start by choosing your category: relationship, health, wellness or ancestry.
What exactly will my DNA report reveal once I receive my results?
For a DNA relationship test, the report gives you a clear conclusion on the relationship tested (paternity, maternity, siblingship, etc.), along with the associated statistical probabilities, calculated according to international standards.
In our health and wellness reports, you will find:
• A personalized summary of your results, your main strengths and points to watch.
• A detailed analysis of your genetic variants related to nutrition, metabolism, vitamins, sleep, skin, sports and other aspects of well-being.
• Your genetic predispositions (tendencies, sensitivities, moderate risks), presented clearly and practically.
• Practical, personalized recommendations to adapt your diet, lifestyle or wellness routines.
• Plain-language explanations so you can understand each result without jargon.
• The scientific methodology used, including the confidence level of each analysis.
• Our privacy and ethics commitments regarding your genetic data.
Each report is sent to you as a PDF at the email address linked to your order. To see what it looks like, download the sample report on the page of the test you are interested in.
Can a relationship test also tell me about my disease risks?
No. DNA relationship tests are extremely reliable (99.99%) for confirming or excluding a biological relationship, but they provide no information about health or ethnic origins. Legal relationship tests are recognized for court proceedings; they are not valid for immigration purposes.
To learn about your predispositions to certain diseases, choose our genetic predispositions test instead. To discover your origins, try our ancestry test.
Can my health and wellness test replace a medical diagnosis?
No. Adnà offers tests for informational and educational purposes. They are not intended to be used as a diagnostic tool. Your traits and results depend not only on genetics, but also on environment, upbringing, lifestyle and other factors. Results should therefore be interpreted with caution and, when needed, with a healthcare professional.
Our DNA health tests and wellness tests help you get to know yourself better and prepare the conversation with your doctor, but they do not replace medical advice.
How do I know your DNA tests are scientifically reliable?
• Our DNA relationship tests establish family relationships by analyzing 22 genetic markers, in ISO 17025 accredited laboratories. Their reliability is 99.99%.
• Our health and wellness tests rely on cutting-edge technologies, including DNA sequencing with Illumina technology, and on peer-reviewed studies recognized by the international scientific community.
Yes. Our genetic predispositions test analyzes your predispositions to certain diseases. This test is not intended for diagnostic purposes, however: discuss your results with a healthcare professional.
It is also part of the DNA 360 Test, which combines 7 genetic reports in a single test.
How does a home paternity test actually work?
The process is designed to be simple, fast and discreet. You receive a kit containing everything you need to collect a cheek swab sample in a few seconds, at home, with no appointment or medical procedure. You return the samples in the envelope provided. The analysis is performed in accredited laboratories and your results are sent to you as a PDF at the email address linked to your order, 5 to 7 business days after the lab receives them.
Our at-home paternity test starts at $199. The same process applies to all our DNA relationship tests: maternity, siblingship, grandparentage, aunt or uncle.
Here is a video showing how to collect the sample:
Should I choose a legal or an informational paternity test?
Both tests analyze DNA in the same way and offer the same scientific accuracy. The difference lies in the chain of custody and how the results are used:
• The informational test is done at home with a standard kit, without identity verification. It is for personal or family use.
• The legal test requires a supervised sample collection, formal identity verification and full chain-of-custody documentation. Its results can be recognized in court proceedings. It is not valid for immigration purposes.
Our paternity test is available as an informational version from $199 and a legal version from $299. You choose the version when you order.
Does a cheek swab or saliva sample hurt?
No. The sample collection is painless. It is a simple cheek swab: you gently rub a swab inside the cheek for a few seconds. No blood draw, no needle and no medical procedure. The method is safe, gentle and suitable for all ages, including children.
It’s the same simple step for all our DNA relationship tests, whether you are testing a newborn or a grandparent.
How much can I trust the results of my paternity test?
DNA relationship tests are highly accurate. When a biological relationship is confirmed, it is confirmed with a probability of at least 99.99%. When the tested man is not the biological father, the exclusion is 100% certain. Analyses follow strict international standards in ISO 17025 accredited laboratories.
Accuracy is the same for the at-home and legal versions of our paternity test.
Can I do my paternity test myself at home without losing reliability?
Yes, as long as you follow the kit instructions and avoid any male contamination during sample collection. Accuracy is then the same as in a lab: 99.99%. If in doubt, the Adnà team can guide you.
This is the informational version of our paternity test, from $199. If the result will be used in court, choose the legal version instead.
Can I send something other than a cheek swab for my relationship test?
Yes. For DNA relationship tests, our partner laboratory can analyze non-standard samples, such as a toothbrush or blood. The analysis costs $650 and takes longer, because the lab must first extract the DNA using a method suited to the material. Some samples (rootless hair, old tissue, very old cigarette butts) contain very little or degraded DNA, so the risk of not getting a conclusive result is higher than with a cheek swab.
You can order this option on the paternity test page (“Special sample collection” option). The full list of accepted samples and their success rates is in the question “Do you accept non-standard samples (other than cheek swabs) for relationship tests?”.
Which alternative samples (toothbrush, blood, etc.) do you accept for a relationship test?
Yes. For DNA relationship tests, our partner laboratory can analyze non-standard samples, such as a toothbrush or blood. The analysis costs $650 and takes longer, because the lab must first extract the DNA using a method suited to the material. Some samples (rootless hair, old tissue, very old cigarette butts) contain very little or degraded DNA.
You can order this option on the paternity test page (“Special sample collection” option). Here is the list of possible samples and their success rates:
Success rate: 90% or more
• Whole semen: frozen vial, fresh swab, or tissue.
• Whole saliva: tube, preferably with preservative.
• Whole blood: lavender-top vacutainer tube.
• Blood/saliva on filter paper: ideally less than 60 days old.

Is DNA paternity testing legal in Canada?
Yes. In Canada, DNA relationship tests are legal and widely used for personal, medical or legal purposes. The consent of all participants is required to take a test with Adnà. For the legal implications specific to your situation, consult a legal professional.
For personal peace of mind, the at-home version of our paternity test is enough. If the result must be presented in court, choose the legal version.
Twin zygosity or siblingship test: which one should I choose for my twins or my brothers and sisters?
A twin zygosity test (from $249) determines whether twins are monozygotic (identical) or dizygotic (fraternal) by comparing their DNA. A siblingship test (from $299) assesses the biological relationship between two people to find out whether they are brothers or sisters, by analyzing the proportion of shared DNA.
In short: twins who want to know if they are identical or fraternal choose twin zygosity; siblings who wonder whether they share the same father choose siblingship.
Is Adnà’s DNA test accepted for an immigration application?
No. Adnà does not offer DNA tests validated for immigration purposes. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requires a strict protocol, with chain of custody and identification performed exclusively by laboratories it recognizes. We recommend Wyndham Forensic Group (WFG), a Canadian ISO 17025 accredited laboratory recognized by IRCC.
For personal use or court proceedings, our paternity test is available in at-home and legal versions.
What exactly will I learn from the DNA 360 test?
The DNA 360 Test combines 7 genetic reports in a single test, for 40% less than buying them separately. Here is what you will discover:

All from a single saliva sample collected at home, for $399.
Taking the DNA 360 Test is simple:
Can the DNA 360 test be used to make a medical diagnosis?
No. This test is intended for informational and educational purposes. Results should be interpreted with caution and are not intended to diagnose diseases or to make medical decisions. For any questions, consult a specialist.
The DNA 360 Test instead helps you better understand your genetic profile and prepare an informed discussion with your doctor.
Can I see a sample DNA 360 report before buying?
Yes. On the DNA 360 Test page, the “Download a sample report” button lets you view a sample report before you buy. You can see the format and level of detail of your future results.
Can I really trust the results of the DNA 360 test?
Yes. The DNA 360 Test analyzes genetic markers recognized by the scientific community, using DNA sequencing with Illumina technology, in an accredited partner laboratory. Results include, among other things, your genetic predispositions, which should always be interpreted in the context of your lifestyle and health.
Does the DNA 360 test replace a genetic test prescribed by a doctor?
No. The DNA 360 Test is designed to provide information on wellness, nutrition, sports, pharmacogenomics and certain genetic predispositions. It is not a diagnostic test and does not replace a medical consultation.
Instead, it gives you an overview of your genetic profile that you can share with your doctor to inform your discussions.
How do I read and understand my DNA 360 report once I receive it?
Each report in the DNA 360 Test clearly explains the meaning of your results and their potential impact, without jargon. When relevant, it offers recommendations tailored to your genetic profile. Your results should be interpreted in light of your lifestyle and personal history.
To go further, you can share your reports with your doctor, dietitian or coach.
Is a single saliva sample enough to get all my DNA 360 reports?
Yes. A single kit and a single saliva sample generate all 7 reports included in the DNA 360 Test. That’s what allows us to offer them for 40% less than buying them separately.
Can I show my DNA 360 report to my doctor or dietitian?
Yes. The reports are designed to be easy to understand and can be shared with a healthcare professional to support a discussion about your lifestyle or treatment.
This is especially useful for your nutrition report with your dietitian, or your pharmacogenomics report with your doctor or pharmacist.
What happens if my saliva sample is invalid or insufficient?

Depending on the test you choose, you can get your dog’s breed identification, certain genetic predispositions to hereditary diseases, as well as physical or behavioural traits. This information helps you better understand your pet and adapt its care with your veterinarian.
Discover our tests: dog breed identification ($249), dog genetic health screening ($275) and cat genetic health screening ($199).
How does a pet DNA test work, step by step?
The test is done at home with a simple swab rubbed inside your pet’s mouth. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for genetic analysis and comparison with reference databases. Discover our DNA tests for dogs and cats.
Can I really trust a pet DNA test?
Yes. The analyses are based on validated genetic markers and breed databases. Accuracy depends on the test chosen and the genetic data available for your pet’s breed.
Learn more about our DNA tests for dogs and cats.
Is a pet DNA test right for me and my pet?
Our DNA tests for dogs and cats are useful for curious owners, for adopted pets of unknown origin, or for breeders who want to better understand an animal’s genetics. They also make an original gift for any animal lover.
Adnà relies on cutting-edge technology and comprehensive databases to produce highly accurate ancestry results. However, no genetic test can be guaranteed 100%. Discover our ancestry test, available for $249.
Our ancestry test gives you a comprehensive report on your ethnic composition, geographic origins and connections with specific ancestral groups. It may also include information about your lineage, your ancestors’ possible migration routes and their historical context.
A great gift idea for genealogy enthusiasts.
Our ancestry DNA tests are optimized to detect and report a wide variety of ethnicities. The laboratory breaks down your genetic heritage into percentages for each ethnic origin identified, giving you a nuanced view of your ancestral heritage.
The results of your ancestry test provide a solid foundation for building your family tree. Ethnic and regional data, along with potential matches, can help you trace and connect different branches of your family.
It’s a great complement to your research in family records and archives.
Yes. Adnà uses advanced genetic testing methods, including DNA sequencing with Illumina technology, so that your results are based on recent genetic research and analysis. Discover our ancestry and genealogy DNA tests.
Adnà provides clear, easy-to-follow instructions for sample collection, and our instructions page walks you through each step. The laboratories then apply strict protocols when handling and analyzing DNA, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of your results.
Yes. The process is designed to be simple, fast and discreet. You receive an easy-to-use kit with everything you need to collect a saliva sample in a few seconds. The instructions are clear, the sample is collected at home with no appointment or medical procedure, and the return is simple with the envelope provided. The analysis is performed in accredited laboratories, and your results are sent to you as a PDF at the email address linked to your order.
Our genetic predispositions test is available for $279. It is also included in the DNA 360 Test.
For health and wellness tests (ancestry, sports and performance, nutrition, skincare, talent and personality, microbiome, genetic predispositions, pharmacogenomics and the DNA 360 Test), your results are available within 30 to 45 business days after the lab receives your samples. This timeline reflects the complexity of sequencing. Also allow 2 to 3 business days to receive your kit at home after ordering.
You then receive your report as a PDF directly at the email address linked to your order.
No. A genetic predisposition does not guarantee that you will develop a disease. It means your probability may be higher than other people’s, but genetics is only one factor among others, along with lifestyle and environment. It is important to consult a healthcare professional to fully understand your risks.
That’s exactly the value of our genetic predispositions test: knowing your risk factors so you can act early on the ones within your control, such as diet, physical activity or medical follow-up.
Before making any decision about your health, discuss your report with a geneticist or healthcare professional. They can give you advice tailored to your genetic information and your overall health.
You can send them your genetic predispositions report directly as a PDF.
No. Your genes contribute to your health, but they are only one piece of the puzzle. Diet, exercise, environment and other lifestyle habits also have a major impact. The genetic predispositions report aims to give you information to take charge of your health proactively.
And to complete the picture, our nutrition and sports and performance tests help you act on those lifestyle habits.
The genetic predispositions report is based on globally recognized genetic studies and databases that reflect scientific consensus. These findings are applied to your genetic data to give you personalized information. Each section refers to the studies supporting the analysis.
No. Detecting a mutation does not automatically mean you have the disease. The report identifies known or likely pathogenic mutations, but your results should be discussed with a healthcare professional or genetic counsellor for an accurate interpretation.
No. The analysis does not cover every genetic region where mutations could be present: it focuses on markers reported as pathogenic. The absence of a detected mutation therefore does not guarantee the absence of risk. A complete assessment should be done with health experts.
Being a carrier does not necessarily mean your child will inherit the disease. The risk may increase, however, depending on the mode of inheritance and whether the other parent is also a carrier or affected. We recommend consulting a genetic counsellor to fully understand the risks for your family.
No. Our pharmacogenomics test tells you how your genetics may influence your response to certain medications, but it cannot predict your response to all medications. It is based on specific genetic markers validated for their influence on the metabolism and effectiveness of certain drugs.
It is essential to consult a healthcare professional, doctor or pharmacist, before any change to your treatment.
Yes. Pharmacogenomics is evolving, and new discoveries may lead to adjustments in recommendations. Adnà follows these advances and may update your pharmacogenomics report accordingly. Stay in regular contact with your healthcare professional for any change in treatment.
The pharmacogenomics report is meant to guide your discussions with a healthcare professional: show it to your doctor or pharmacist. It can help inform the choice of certain medications and their dosage, but should not be used to make medical decisions on your own. Your doctor will consider it together with your medical history, current medications and lifestyle.
This report is also included in the DNA 360 Test.
No. Food intolerance tests try to identify foods that may trigger allergic reactions or intolerances. Our nutrition test (nutrigenetics), on the other hand, analyzes your DNA to show how your genetic makeup influences your response to food, nutrient metabolism and certain dietary preferences.
No, don’t make major changes based on the results alone. We recommend seeking advice from a healthcare professional or dietitian to interpret your results and build a nutrition plan suited to your genetic profile, lifestyle and health goals.
Your nutrition report is an excellent starting point for that conversation.
No. Genetics plays a role in your eating habits, but your lifestyle, environment and personal preferences also influence your diet and health.
Our nutrition test helps you understand the genetic part, so you can act better on the rest.
Yes. Our genetic tests are simple to take: you collect a saliva sample with the kit provided, send it to the lab, then receive your personalized report as a PDF by email. The process is designed to be practical and easy.
Our instructions page guides you step by step. For the nutrition test, allow 30 to 45 business days after the lab receives your sample.
Yes. Our nutrition test helps you better understand certain genetic predispositions related to your nutritional responses. By knowing your genetic profile, you can make more informed decisions about your diet and lifestyle to support your overall health.
For the full picture, the DNA 360 Test combines nutrition with 6 other genetic reports.
Our sports and performance test gives you personalized information on your genetic predispositions related to several aspects of athletic performance and health: power, strength, endurance, resilience, cardiovascular and aerobic capacity, metabolic profile and injury risk. This information can help you adapt your training and recovery.
Adnà uses recent genetic testing technologies and in-depth databases to provide accurate results. However, no genetic test can be 100% accurate. Learn more about our sports and performance test.
The information from your sports and performance test can help you adapt your training program to maximize your natural strengths and target areas that need more attention. By aligning training and recovery with your genetic profile, you can optimize your performance and reduce certain injury risks.
Share your report with your coach or kinesiologist to get the most out of it.
We offer several at-home microbiome tests to meet different needs:
• Gut microbiome test: it analyzes the microorganisms in your gut and provides personalized recommendations on your diet, lifestyle and digestive health.
• Oral microbiome test ($219): it analyzes the bacteria in your mouth to assess the balance of your oral flora and give you recommendations to improve your oral health.
Each test targets a different area of the body and serves specific goals. See all our microbiome tests.
It depends on your goals. To better understand your digestive health, choose the gut microbiome test. To assess your oral health, the oral microbiome test is the most appropriate.
The gut microbiome is made up of the microorganisms in your digestive system. It plays an important role in digestion, metabolism and the immune system. The oral microbiome includes the bacteria in your mouth and contributes to the health of your teeth, gums and oral cavity. Each test analyzes a different microbiome and provides tailored recommendations.
Discover our at-home microbiome tests.
A DNA test analyzes your genetic makeup, which remains essentially stable throughout your life. A microbiome test analyzes the microorganisms in your body, whose composition can change with your lifestyle and environment.
The two complement each other: our DNA health tests show your predispositions, while our microbiome tests show the current state of your flora.
A microbiome analysis may be relevant if you have chronic digestive issues, unexplained allergic reactions or persistent skin conditions, or simply to better understand your health and well-being. It can also help if you want to understand the impact of your diet or lifestyle changes on your microbial balance.
If symptoms persist, also talk to a healthcare professional.
Yes. Your diet and lifestyle can have a major impact on the composition and function of your microbiome. The right changes can help support the health of your microbiome and your overall well-being.
A microbiome test lets you measure these effects, before and after your changes.
No, not directly. Even though family members may share certain microbial characteristics, each person has a unique microbiome. The information and recommendations in the report are therefore specific to the person tested.
Any family member who wants to know their microbiome can take their own microbiome test.
Adnà recommends retaking the microbiome test periodically, especially after major changes in your diet, lifestyle or health. This lets you track how your microbiome evolves and adjust your personalized recommendations.
Yes. The oral microbiome and the gut microbiome are connected, in a system often called the oral-gut axis. The mouth is the entry point to the digestive system, and the microorganisms in the mouth can influence the gut microbiome and digestive health.
The oral microbiome test is a good starting point to assess this flora.
